TIF Glad you got a glimpse of Old H. As for what you can do about H not coming out of it, well, that`s the point I`m stuck on too.
I just hate that the memories my three will take with them are of living with a sulking father and a frustrated mother who have minimal engagement with each other. I`m actually glad that H bails out a often as he does-home late from work and out again-so we only have two hours of him and his moods most evenings.
But its hard to live with his hatred. If I got the chance of an affair right now I`d take it. I`m missing emotional and physical intimacy too long and not a hope of it in sight from H.
I`m wondering is it time for the `tough love` stage. Shape up or bail out buddy cos I`ve had it with him his moods, his blaming me for everything, and his absenteeism as a father too. H knows that in our country I`ll get custody of the kids, and get to live with them in the family home. He`ll be the big loser.
Then again it might give him the chance to live the bachelor life he so obviously craves.
